Model 2375 - having exactly the same problem, and it is day two for me. I replaced fuel lines and cleaned the carb. I am getting fire. I can get it to start for 5 seconds, but then it dies. I can spray it with either and it will start for 5 seconds and then die. Any ideas would be appreciated. Model 2375 - having exactly the same problem, and it is day two for me.

check for spark, if you have spark pour a very small amount of fuel down the spark plug hole, if it runs for a few seconds and stops. You have a fuel problem. If there is no spark, try a new plug, if still no spark you have an electrical problem. All is assuming you have compression. If no compression your motor needs refurbishing.

In my experiance with two-cycles that have spark and fuel usually the missing ingredient is not enough compression. Try taking the piston out of the cylinder and check the condition of the piston ring and cylinder wall. The piston ring cannot be broken, collapsed or 'welded' to the piston which can happen if the saw is run on straight gas. The cylinder wall cannot be scored at all to get the compression levels required for gas with oil mixed in it to burn. One other possibility is that your spark isn't hot enough. Possibly caused by a small piece of carbon stuck in the spark plug or a bad ignition module.

one piston ring has expanded now having no or a very fine gap increasing the compression ratio causing this to happen. When the spark plug is removed it is very easy to pull on the cord in any means. A inspection is due of this engine or a new chain saw is needed

I own the Poulan Chain Saw the Wild Thing. Replaced the spark plug and fuel filter and made a fresh batch of gasoline mix and I am still having a hard time getting it started. I had the exact same problem last fall. Repair shop told me it was flooded. If this is the case how do I resolve the problem. I took the plug out and it was dry.
